Addendum 1 with Attachments.pdf

This is Addendum 1 to the Request for Proposals issued by Ulster County, New York for food service operations at the Ulster County Jail. The addendum modifies the original RFP by providing updated pricing requirements and menu specifications for the food service contract. The facility operates a full-service kitchen providing three meals on a twenty-eight-day menu cycle to both the inmate population and staff. The Ulster County Jail has a maximum capacity of 457 inmates with a current average daily population of approximately 200 inmates. Additionally, approximately 125 staff members receive daily meals that differ from the inmate menu. The addendum includes detailed attachments specifying the price per meal cost structure that bidders must propose and the approved menus that the contractor must follow throughout the contract period.

The addendum establishes the pricing framework and menu requirements that vendors must adhere to when submitting proposals for this food service contract. The incumbent contractor, Aramark, held an identical or substantially similar procurement contract within the past five years. Bidders must structure their pricing proposals according to the meal cost requirements outlined in the addendum and ensure their meal planning and preparation comply with the specified menu cycles and nutritional standards included in the attachments. These pricing and menu specifications represent critical compliance elements for proposal evaluation and contract performance under the food service agreement.
